![](http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m489/classicjune1/image_2.jpeg) I think this was the reference pic they used to create the scan. I must say, it's pretty darn.accurate.

I am with PJ, the scan/mouth is just trying to capture a very common expression he would do. I don't think it is bad. Probably could've been better, but I like it fine. It's a $20 toy as stated above, I don't expect perfection. It's a bad scan, unless the moment they are trying to capture is him trying to force out a turd. I don't see Mattel making open handed chop hands to recreate Flairs most used maneuver, so call a buck toothed failure of a scan their attempt to recreate somethings is laughable.

If they're going to mess up a Surfer Sting I'm glad it's USA Sting, because this is not how I remember him best. But it is his defining Surfer era look, and the most requested Sting from that era. For them to drop the ball this bad shows that they really don't give a crap about collectors.

Is there any chance, that like the laced boots, the torso was an error too? However unlike a relatively simple boot swap, the torso could not be changed? Or The Piss Poor Part Selection was done by an intern with a box full of Create-A-Superstar parts? I like to think the face was a mistake too, this figure should've been an April Fools exclusive.

I have to disagree about this scan capturing his powering up face, it looks Gary Busy about to hit the waves. ![](http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m489/classicjune1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_12.jpeg)

Studd is a standout figure. He's actually the figure that made me decide to go all in and collect Mattel. I associate his likeness and attire as essential to any golden era WWF collection. It's truly iconic in my opinion and damn near perfect, just wish he had a cloth robe, maybe a single release with red stars on his tights could be released one day, but if not I'm happy with the one we got.

I keep seeing a lonely 2pack at Kmart, alongside the 30 elite singlet warriors, 15 Los Matadores 3 packs, 20 championship series Warriors, and 5 elite bluetistas, that never go on sale.
The people at Kmart are clueless, they have actually raised the price of this 3 pack to 39 this week, to coincide with me receiving 6 bucks in bonus money. Go figure.

I like how you have that custom Haku hidden in the background there will be several more customs of his contemporaries making prominent appearance later tonight once I update the setup.

This is a terrible scan, which means there will be tons of people saying that it's better in person, and underrated.

The arena backdrop is not old school enough for me. I ordered the classic blue mats and while They look nice, I'm not pleased with the cardboard feel and the fact that you can not remove sections to expose the concrete so to speak.

I'm super jealous of that Real Scale Money in the Bank. What are the dimensions of that thing?! I'll measure it when I get home, the structure itself fits the elite ring, but I wanted to be able to use the steps so I did away with the the brackets that hold the base of the structure together.

Hey fellas, here's my nearly 1 month old collection that started with a birthday haul, and has taken on a life of its own. WWF 85-89 ![](http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m489/classicjune1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_10.jpeg) WWF 90-92 ![](http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m489/classicjune1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_11.jpeg)

Would be cool if the Heyman was classic with the hat and ponytail from the Dangerous Alliance days. He didn't have a hat and ponytail in the Dangerous Alliance days, he had a mullet and a old school brick cell phone.
